    Do you mainly stream music or own it?

    My goodness, another ad hominem and strawman attack. Where on earth did I say sell audio gear or any of the other above nonsense? Please show the quote where I said sell audio gear, whistle or whatever other total gibberish you just stated? Instead of making up the above listed items how...

    Do you mainly stream music or own it?

    That is just a rephrasing of what I have said or implied multiple times.

    Do you mainly stream music or own it?

    But my wife and I also have smaller cars, shop at the local farmer’s market and do other things that might have less impact. I am not saying I am a saint but as owners of compact cars versus full sized SUV’s we are out of the mainstream in that area. I didn’t say it was either or. I just said...

    Do you mainly stream music or own it?

    Nope , my bias isn’t showing. There is no such thing “as low monthly payments for life”. I am not telling people not to spend money, just to realize how expensive things really are.

    Do you mainly stream music or own it?

    I am not saying don’t spend money. I certainly spend plenty on pleasure. I am just saying streaming and everything else that claims it just “ a low monthly payment for life” isn’t cheap.

    Do you mainly stream music or own it?

    As I said, I would love to see an analysis of the environmental impact of both. I have some CD’s I have been listening to for 30 years. Given the longevity of some physical media i think the equation might favor physical media. At least some research shows physical media to be greener. Here...

    Do you mainly stream music or own it?

    I have a bit less than 200 CDs and I have buying them for 30 years. So I am way money ahead from that standpoint. I think the overwhelming majority of the population realizes that automatic investment plans like 401Ks are are a fantastic way to build wealth. Conversely, plans that...

    Do you mainly stream music or own it?

    But you buy a CD once and it is over. I would love to see a detailed analysis of this. From a financial standpoint paying paying “a low monthly fee” for the rest of your life is a bad move.

    Do you mainly stream music or own it?

    Serious music listening is 100% owned and maybe one album is download only and not on CD-“Tapestry“ and I will buy a copy of that on CD. As the poster above me mentioned I love liner notes. Album art and photos are also great. And finally, CD’s are really affordable, particularly used. And...

    Zero-emission vehicles, their batteries & subsidies/rebates for them.- No politics regarding the subsidies!

    Saying utility scale storage doesn’t work is a red herring. First of all we are in the infancy of these technologies and we have a long way before they are mature. Talking about current difficulties is ignoring that technology advances. Watch “Downton Abbey” and see how they talk about...
